Descripción
Introducción
Aldara 5% Cream contains imiquimod, a topical immune response modifier that helps the skin fight abnormal cells and viral infections. It is prescription-only and primarily prescribed for actinic keratosis (AK), superficial basal cell carcinoma (sBCC), and external genital/perianal warts. Aldara stimulates the local immune system to clear or reduce lesions with minimal systemic exposure. Users may notice improvements after several weeks. Common side effects include mild redness, flaking, itchiness, or swelling at the application site, which usually subside after treatment. Serious side effects are rare under medical supervision.
Indicaciones generales
Medically indicated for:
- Actinic Keratosis (AK): Skin lesions from sun exposure with potential cancer risk if untreated.
- Superficial Basal Cell Carcinoma (sBCC): Early-stage skin cancer on trunk, neck, or face.
- External Genital and Perianal Warts: HPV-related contagious skin growths requiring antiviral treatment.
Doctors prescribe Aldara for patients seeking nonsurgical, targeted treatment. Purchasing through DoctorOnCall International ensures authentic, licensed products and professional support for global customers.
